Beautiful scenery. Fantastic fight scenes. I haven't read the book recently enough to know what was messed up. I did get two of the lines exactly right. It was super nice seeing familiar places and faces.

My main problem? I forgot it was a trilogy. {head bang}

Apparently I can disappear into a movie as well as a book and was totally engrossed. The snail shell is tapping and I'm thinking "that's got to be annoying". . . then the credits roll and I'm thinking "Wait. What? Already? Dang this is first of three".

Our local movie theater did a marathon of the Twilight movies when the last one came out. I would totally go to that if they do it for The Hobbit.

edit: Some of the movie trailers were for a new Star Trek movie, The Host (which actually looked good), Zombie Love, Pacific Rim, and one with leafmen who protect the forest.

Believe it or not, I want to see Zombie Love. I know, right? Check it out. And The Host? I didn't want to read the book because of Twilight even if it wasn't like Twilight. Maybe I'll skip the book and go straight to the movie. Or it could be a contender for "Second Chances". The leafmen one looks good too. Animated with a Fern Gully/Honey I Shrunk the Kids feel.

Loved The Hobbit! I hate that it's a trilogy only because we have to wait so long. Otherwise, I'm thrilled for three movies.

You should really read The Host. While I liked the Twilight books, I loved The Host even more. I think it's far better written and it's just a great story. I'm really looking forward to that new Star Trek movie. I'm a total Trekkie!
